[postmaster@blackhole.com: Unsolicited commercial email rejected]

[Julian Field]

How very polite :-)

It sounds as if your email address is being used by a spammer as a fake 
"From:" address in mail they are sending, so that you get the bounce 
messages and not the spammer.
If you had been rather more polite in your mail, I would feel rather more 
inclined to explain this in detail. But you weren't, so I'm not.
